In the final episode of our three-part Talking Head Pain mini-series, host Erik Stone sits down with Dr. Alicia Duyvejonck, a nurse practitioner and nationally recognized leader in headache care, to explore the real-world challenges of treating acute migraine attacks in clinical settings. They unpack common barriers, including systemic constraints, insurance hurdles, and comorbidities that complicate treatment selection. From newer medication classes like gepants to optimizing care through urgent and aggressive early intervention, this episode offers insights that can help healthcare providers tailor treatment strategies for patients in the middle of an attack.
